Period while pregnant?

Dear Aunty Lisa

I am three months pregnant and I stained my panties with some blood recently. It appeared as if I had my periods for a day. I don’t know what is happening, is it possible to have your periods while pregnant? – Tendai

Dear Tendai

It is rare but it is possible, more so during the first trimester of pregnancy. But doctors say any issue of blood is a cause for concern during pregnancy, so I encourage you to go and see your doctor or gynaecologist who will examine you to see if everything is okay. This is a special time in life and you need to be careful what you eat, how you sleep and generally how you live your life. Any signs you do not understand you should consult a medical professional. Otherwise you should be fine, I wish you the best. – Aunty Lisa
